Well, that title is actually not true at all... because as you know, being fellow bloggers, there are literally tens of thousands of un-used, sad, lonely pictures that never get seen... either because one feels the old legs looked waaaay too fat in that one, or the eyes were shut, or the lighting made you look like you were dead, or whatnot (you know what I'm talking about!)... just the usual reasons we don't show off the bad ones! (I do frequently feel guilty for contributing to the media ideal that bad face/hair/body/ everything days don't really exist- I assure you if you were to see my "bad pile" you would all die of laughter! One day, when I'm old and brave enough, I will post them up!) However, they arn't all bad, some unfortunate ones just don't make it due to there being too many... or in this case, due to being candid! Which don't get me wrong, is not a bad thing at all... I LOVE candid shots, they are the best... but when you feel like you have a bunch of perfectly fine snaps that make up your usual amount per post, then the candid ones get kind of forgotten... :(
Seeing as I am yet to survive a whole week longer without my sweetheart, his camera and his undeniable skills I have succumbed to "mining the archives" (oh creepy, this was a title for my first ever essay at university!- we all failed from being too literal after going to the library and "mining the archives!" haha!) But I was quite surprised to see so many piccies that seem perfectly fine to me now... At the time I deemed them truly hideous. there is something about seeing a photo of yourself right after it has been taken that makes (me at least) want to book a month at some kind of "retreat" where you come out looking "better" I think they call this place LA?!!!
It's nice looking back over your efforts aswell... sometimes it feels as if I'm not doing enough... but when I look back, it seems I did in fact prance about quite a bit... in the same pair of shoes for the most part it seems! Despite my bath tub full of them!?! I'm mad... a creature of habit clearly!!!
Before this becomes an essay "Mining the Archives" style... I wanted to add that I am now back in Barcelona... My flight was delayed by about 3 times the flight time, but well worth it! I got home and kissed everything I could see in my house... I even picked up the dog mat and gave it a good sniff!... I'm not sure how wise that was... but I've REALLY missed my dog! We are still not re united, I've decided to let him play up in the country side for a week longer, and pick him up when Albert gets back... This way we can be the heroic parents... He totally thinks we have abandoned him. Poor Scoobs! How are you all? I hope your all having a lovely summer wherever you are... Where are you?! :) xx

Sometimes I think that we actually discard some of the best photos. When we're in the middle of taking some (or a shoot) we have an image of what everything should look like. So when you see a silly one you think 'omg that does not work at ALL!' or an angle is wrong or you think you look terrible... but really, it's just that the image doesn't fit your current ideal. I've realized this going back and looking through older photos.
These are all so full of character! I love them! Stoic photos shoots are fun and beautiful, but these ones are really YOU, ya know?
Hahahaha! I love that you smelled the dog mat. I'd do that too if I went home to see my dog and she was still off on her own vacation. I hope you get reunited with your dog and Albert soon! Take care!
I adore all of these outfits - you have AMAZING style!! I especially love your dotted skirt - so so cute <3

I love the sequin outfit you are wearing! Looking through your posts you tend to gravitate towards sequins and I myself am entirely the same way.
I personally think the candid shots now and then are a great little peak into behind the scenes. I think we all get nervous having so many pictures taken by ourselves, at least for me especially when my boyfriend or my friends are taking them it puts a special sort of pressure on me to perform well. It's nice to see the fun side of what's going on in shoots.
Great blog!

Hi Lauren!
thank you so much for your lovely comment! (and everybody of course!!!) @Lauren, I can't seem to find a way to comment on your blog... I wanted to let you know about all the sequins! This is my first collection for my clothing line "Disco Pony" which will be launched for pre-order very very soon! So as you are so sequin inclined, you must check it out! It's not up just yet... but the website is: www.discopony.co.uk (it should be live in about 10 days)! Thanks agin for taking the time to write such a thoughtful comment! <3 your tumblr! Love Zoeyx
Hi, you have been nominated for the One Lovely Blog Award. Check out the rules and make your nominations! Congrats! xxx, Sonia
Love all these beautiful looks especially the polka dots!

If these are your rejects, that's not fair!
Zoey,
Thanks for the fast response! :)
I will definitely have to check out the collection! It looks right up my alley. Not sure what was going on with the comments on my tumblr, but I ended up changing the layout anyway so now it is much easier to actually use/comment on. Learning as I go!
Can't wait to see how Disco Pony turns out! I bet it will be fabulous.
